Alison Rostetter's insight:

Well, plenty of listening here but I don't think - after listening to one podcast that it's for my particular students.  On the other hand, the jokes are innocuous, slowly spoken and many of the words are explained although some visuals and written words would help..  Hat off to the guy who goes to all this trouble.  I'm sure lots of people would get a benefit out of the casts, or even just some extracts, not the whole cast.
